That's new to me, as is most of this. I know of but never do this stuff. I've had some success with automator but with over 100,000 files it seems to not like me dragging and dropping that many files. I've cut it down to 5,000 a process and it seems to handle it. I think the software suggestion make more sense in the long run but at least for now I'm brute forcing it with automator.

Hi John,
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but you know you can just use the Mac Finder to batch rename?
Just select all files, right-click and select 'Rename' to bring up a kind of 'Find and Replace' dialogue.
Should be enough for what you're trying to do and simpler than Automator.

Avid will only take the first 64 characters of the sequence name and the rest gets truncated. I believe there is a way to use Automator on a Mac to batch rename but that's not something we've done before. The resulting DPX file works fine it just doesn't have all the requested text on the individual files.I will start googling but is there some sort of 64 character limit to file naming in the DPX spec? I doubt there is because I wouldn't think the network would have made this request if there was. Some days I just feel so guilty for having all the fun.John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@...
